Between the Self and Others

Dr. Venus Nicolino Builds Bridges With Empathy

LOS ANGELES, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- April 2, 2007 -- Dr. Venus Nicolino isn't sanctimonious
about her practice and her take on the world, but her convictions and
passion regarding empathy, the process of emotional resonance and the
ability to feel what another person is feeling, are nothing less than
saintly. With a new office in Beverly Hills, her private practice offers an
alternative kind of therapy that is relationship-centered -- the
relationship with oneself and humanity.

Having received a Master's degree in Counseling Psychology from New York
University, a Master's in Clinical Psychology and her Doctorate in Clinical
Psychology at the California School of Professional Psychology (widely
regarded as one of the top programs for advanced degrees in psychology in
the United States), Dr. Nicolino embodies a careful mixture of
intelligence, insight, visionary spirit, and common sense.

Practicing a combination of behaviorism, psychodynamic, and humanistic
theory, her work focuses on taking one's attention off the self and placing
it selflessly onto others -- an awareness of oneself in the context of
other people. Essentially, it is the intellectual identification with, or
vicarious experiencing of the feelings, thoughts, or attitudes of another.

Providing psychological services to adolescents and adults (with a
particular emphasis on depression, anxiety, life transition, trauma, and
grief), Dr. Nicolino's deep commitment toward her work and genuine desire
to help others continues to create astounding results.

This spring her doctoral dissertation on "The Relationship between War,
Racism, Islamophobia and Religious Dogmatism," which garnered her
significant recognition in the field of peace and political psychology, is
being published in an abridged version.
